Beauceron - Facts You Must Know Before Adopting Beauceron


One of France's most beloved and ancient dogs, the Beauceron resembles the German Shepherd with its threatening appearance. This breed is one of France's pride pure breeds which dates back the late 16th century. They are invariably black with hints of tan, and very muscular. The hind legs of Beaucerons make them distinct, with double dewclaw on each foot - thus, they seem have six toes.

Coat

The Beauceron's coat is relatively short and coarse, with a length just over one inch. They have characteristic markings on several spots in their body, usually underneath or along the muzzles, on their legs, near tails and on the chest. They have a fine, grey undercoat which is completely covered by their overcoat.

Activity

Beaucerons are bred to become herding dogs - they are thus, outdoor dogs. This means that they have to spend lots of time outdoors. They need long walks, they love being taken on bike rides, fetching games, even swimmin g and other strenuous activities. Beaucerons have long-reaching strides, and have strong, effortless movement.
